The Red Bulls announced that due to inclement weather from Hurricane Irene expected to hit on Sunday, their game with the Los Angeles Galaxy has been moved from Sunday to Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m.

“After a significant amount of consultation with Major League Soccer, local authorities and the Galaxy, we made this joint decision to postpone the game with the safety of fans, players and employees in the forefront of our minds,” Red Bulls GM and Sporting Director Erik Soler said. “We still expect a great match in October between two strong teams in a fantastic atmosphere at Red Bull Arena.”

It will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2.

Fans with tickets to the sold-out L.A. game can use the same ticket on Oct. 4, or exchange them for a ticket to one of the remaining games this year. The deadline to take advantage of this ticket exchange is Sept. 9.
